Study plan

The Study Plan should be submitted at the start of each academic year in the time period established by the School according to the year of enrolment. Check the online calendar:
www.polimi.it/en/current-students/calendar-and-deadlines/deadlines/

ou can independently present a study plan beyond the deadline.

A few days after the closing of the study plan submission period, you can submit an application for the generation of the Study Plan by selecting the " Study Plan - Presentation" function in the "Career" section of the Online Services (Online Services > Services > Career > Study Plan - Presentation).

We recommend that you see to it within the first week of class.

The applications will be evaluated on Wednesday of each week and an email will be sent in response to the institutional mail address.

You will be charged a € 100.00 default payment at the time of paying the second instalment.

No changes are allowed. The Study Plan remains valid for the year.

Usually the Study Plan is approved mid first semester. If you have entered the recommended Plan, it will be validated automatically.

Yes, if you are registered in a three-year Laurea (equivalent to a Bachelor of Science). Once you have passed the exam, this will automatically be registered as a course of the previous academic year. If you pass the exam, it will not be included in the calculation of the ECTS to be paid for in the second instalment.

No, if you are enrolled in a Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to a Master of Science), as you are considered as having already sat it.

 

The extra courses are additional teachings that you can enter in your Study Plan.

When preparing your Study Plan, you will be allowed to enter “extra” courses, which may also be chosen from other study programmes, for up to a total of 30 ECTS.

These courses do not count towards the total calculation of credits useful for the degree; passing them is optional and, therefore, they do not contribute to your average score.

Their inclusion in the Study Plan is valid for the purpose of calculating the university contributions payable.

This means entering in the study plan any exams actually already passed, but not yet recorded. The self-declaration of the exams is to be carried out ONLY if you have actually passed the exams and you are sure of having passed them.

The session is probably not open because it is not the right time for entering Study Plans. Check by consulting the academic calendar:

www.polimi.it/en/current-students/calendar-and-deadlines/deadlines/

You can consult the study prospectus online [http://www.design.polimi.it/en/studying-design/courses-prospectus-and-programmes/], accessible from the site of the School of Design or at this link [http://www4.ceda.polimi.it/manifesti/manifesti/controller/ManifestoPublic.do] and carefully read the teaching programs, selecting sections from the menu and clicking on the icon of every single teaching module.

 

OFA (Additional Educational Obligations)

You may make up for English OFAs during the academic year by sitting the remedial English OFA test (TENG) and earning a score of at least 24, or by presenting an English language proficiency certificate according to the parameters indicated on the Politecnico website - www.polimi.it/en/current-students/english-language/

Remedial exam sessions are held every month. The Registrar’s Office will send an email to your university email account with information on registering for these sessions through the Online Services > Test Registration, Check Results, Enrolment, Registration for OFA and TENG Sessions.
